I am a native Minnesotan and took classes at the U of M during high school. I live near Eden Prairie and took this bus to class everyday as well as buses from Shakopee (another suburb). Public transportation is great in the cities and its suburbs (pretty reliably on time and quick). The buses have stops right in front of Coffman Union which is also extremely convenient (good place to do homework while waiting for a bus and fairly central point of campus). You can also get a much nicer apartment in a suburb for cheaper than you would pay in Uptown or Stadium Village if you are willing to take the bus or drive every day.

I also was admitted for a PhD in CS with one year fellowship, but I'm also interviewing for Network Science IGERT fellowship.
